CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 507: TRACKING

Gu Moqian searched the entire VIP ward but couldn’t find Ji Wei anywhere.

Strange, where could she have gone?

Overcome by the euphoria in his mind, Gu Moqian’s reaction was a half beat slower. After a moment, he suddenly remembered to call Ji Wei.

However, no one answered the call after ringing for quite a while.

Gu Moqian called again a few times, but the result was the same.

A sense of unease began to stir in his heart. He stuffed the report back into his pocket, grabbed his coat, and headed out.

Just as he walked a few steps, Chen Ke’s call came in.

"Mr. Gu, I’ve obtained the call records for Madam’s mobile number. It shows there was a call made to Ji Yunli last night, lasting five minutes, at 11:13 PM."

Gu Moqian froze in his tracks, his deep, dark eyes glinting with coldness.

At that time, Ji Wei’s phone had already been taken.

The ones who called Ji Yunli must have been that group!

"Come with me to the Ji Family immediately."

Gu Moqian ordered coldly and began walking out faster.

He needed to confirm Ji Yunli’s safety—and perhaps, Ji Wei had already heard the news and gone there ahead of him.

...

Tang Yi left the president’s office ten minutes later.

Ji Wei stealthily followed behind her.

Seeing Tang Yi get into a black sedan, Ji Wei quickly flagged down a taxi and told the driver to follow.

She had her phone on silent, and only after settling into the car did she finally have a chance to glance at it. Seeing all the missed calls from Gu Moqian, Ji Wei remembered that she’d hurried out so quickly she forgot to inform him of her whereabouts.

She sent him a message: Moqian, I have something urgent to deal with right now. I’ll come back as soon as I’m done.

Less than half a minute later, Gu Moqian responded: Where are you?

Ji Wei looked ahead and saw the black sedan that Tang Yi was in still driving onwards.

Not knowing the destination, she replied: I just left Ji Group. I’m in a car right now.

Gu Moqian: Send me your location.

Ji Wei thought, sending her location while in a moving vehicle wouldn’t be accurate.

Still, she did as he asked.

Suddenly, the black car ahead of her sped up, and Ji Wei didn’t have time to check her phone anymore. She hurriedly said to the taxi driver, "Sir, please speed up and stick close to the car in front."

The driver glanced at her urgency and couldn’t help but joke, "Are you a paparazzo?"

Ji Wei wanted to roll her eyes.

What about her even remotely looked like a gossip reporter?

But to avoid exposing herself, she awkwardly nodded, "Yeah, yeah, I’m a reporter for Eight Weekly."

The driver, suddenly intrigued, turned his head and asked with excitement, "Can you tell me which celebrity is in the car ahead?"

Why was this taxi driver so nosy?

"Xiao Zhen," Ji Wei answered casually.

After all, Xiao Zhen was a complete scumbag; using his name for this wouldn’t hurt.

"Oh, I know Xiao Zhen. He’s the new-generation idol star! My daughter loves him—he truly is good-looking," the driver commented enthusiastically. "I’ll see if I can grab his autograph later; my daughter will be over the moon..."

Ji Wei: "..."

"It’s my first time encountering a celebrity like this—I’m kind of excited... Don’t mind me, alright?"

Ji Wei couldn’t help but say, "Then make sure you don’t lose them."

"No way I will!" The driver’s face lit up as he suddenly floored the accelerator. "Hold on tight!"

After driving another twenty minutes, the driver started to sound puzzled. "This road leads to the remote south side of the city. What’s a big star like him doing in such a desolate area?"

Ji Wei didn’t answer. After sitting in the car for so long, she felt motion sickness rising again.

Peering out of the car window, she saw rows of rundown houses outside.

This was Rongcheng’s undeveloped inner-city village: messy, filthy, and reportedly had the city’s highest crime rate. Tang Yi hiding Ji Yunli here didn’t come as a surprise.
